Abstract

A stand includes a base, a supporting member and a connecting member. The supporting member is spaced from the base and comprises a supporting portion and an arm pivotally engaging with the supporting portion. The arm is rotatable towards the supporting portion. The connecting member connects the base and the supporting member. The connecting member comprises a plurality of connecting portions foldaway relative to each other.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1. A stand comprising:
 a base; 
 a supporting member spaced from the base and comprising a supporting portion and an arm pivotally engaging with the supporting portion, the arm being rotatable relative to the supporting portion; 
 a connecting member connecting the base and the supporting member, the connecting member comprising a plurality of connecting portions adjoined together and foldaway relative to each other; 
 wherein a receiving chamber is defined in the supporting portion for rotatably receiving the arm, and an end of the arm is engaged in the receiving chamber; and 
 wherein two protruding parts are formed on the supporting portion and pivotally engage with the end of the arm. 
 
     
     
       2. The stand of  claim 1 , wherein the arm comprises a hollow engaging arm inserted in the receiving chamber and an extending arm scalably engaged with the engaging arm and operable to be received in the engaging arm. 
     
     
       3. The stand of  claim 2 , wherein an operating portion extends outwardly from a side of the engaging arm. 
     
     
       4. The stand of  claim 2 , wherein a baffle plate pivotally engages with an outer end of the extending arm and is able to be folded. 
     
     
       5. The stand of  claim 4 , wherein the extending arm comprises a connecting plate and an extending plate extending from a bottom side of the connecting plate, the baffle plate pivotally engages with an outer end of the extending plate and is able to fold on a top side of the extending plate. 
     
     
       6. The stand of  claim 5 , wherein the arm further comprises a connecting arm, the connecting arm is hollow and two ends thereof engage with the engaging arm and the extending arm, respectively. 
     
     
       7. The stand of  claim 6 , wherein the connecting arm is slidably received in the engaging arm, and the extending arm is slidably received in the connecting arm. 
     
     
       8. The stand of  claim 7 , wherein a width of the connecting arm gradually decreases from a closed end connected to the engaging arm to an open end connected to the extending arm, the closed end is larger than an end of the engaging arm which the closed end is engaged, and the closed end is smaller than other portions of the engaging arm. 
     
     
       9. The stand of  claim 8 , wherein a width of the connecting plate of the extending arm gradually decreases from an inner end away from the extending plate to an outer end connecting the extending plate, and the inner end of the connecting plate engages in the open end of the connecting arm. 
     
     
       10. The stand of  claim 1 , wherein two baffle members pivotally engage with two ends of the supporting portion of the supporting member. 
     
     
       11. The stand of  claim 10 , wherein each of the baffle members comprises a linking portion pivotally engaging with a corresponding end of the supporting portion, a baffle portion, and a connecting portion connecting the linking portion and the baffle portion, the two baffle portions of the two baffle members being oriented toward each other. 
     
     
       12. The stand of  claim 1 , wherein another arm pivotally engages with the supporting portion, and the two arms are symmetrical each other. 
     
     
       13. The stand of  claim 1 , wherein the base comprise a socket and two spaced legs inserted in the socket, one end of the connecting member inserted in the socket. 
     
     
       14. A stand comprising:
 a base; 
 a supporting member spaced from the base and comprising a container with an opening thereof and two arms, two spaced protruding parts formed on inner surface of the container, the two arms pivotally engaging with the protruding parts and rotatable around the protruding parts to be received in the container; and 
 
       a connecting member connecting the base and the supporting member, the connecting member comprising a plurality of connecting portions adjoined together and foldaway relative to each other. 
     
     
       15. The stand of  claim 14 , wherein two baffle members pivotally engage with two ends of the supporting portion of the supporting member. 
     
     
       16. The stand of  claim 14 , wherein the adjoining connecting portions of the connecting member connect each other by a gimbal and a bolt, the gimbal has a head received in an end of one connecting portion and a linking portion sandwiched in two spaced engaging portions of an end of another connecting portion, the bolt extends through the engaging portions and the linking portion, the another connecting portion is rotatable around the bolt. 
     
     
       17. A stand comprising:
 a base; 
 a supporting member spaced from the base and comprising a supporting portion and an arm pivotally engaging with the supporting portion, the arm being rotatable relative to the supporting portion; 
 a connecting member connecting the base and the supporting member, the connecting member comprising a plurality of connecting portions adjoined together and foldaway relative to each other; 
 wherein the adjoining connecting portions of the connecting member connect each other by a gimbal and a bolt, the gimbal has a head received in an end of one connecting portion and a linking portion sandwiched between two spaced engaging portions of an end of another connecting portion, the bolt extends through the engaging portions and the linking portion, and the another connecting portion is rotatable around the bolt. 
 
     
     
       18. The stand of  claim 17 , wherein a protruding pole is formed on the supporting portion, a combining portion engages with the protruding pole and sandwiches the linking portion of one gimbal between two spaced engaging plates of the combining portion, a bolt extends through the engaging plates and the linking portion of the gimbal, the supporting portion is rotatable around the bolt, and the head of the gimbal engages with a corresponding connecting portion of the connecting member.
